In the US, about 150,000 current and former employees of Anheuser-Busch have had their personal information stolen.

Computer laptops, stolen in June, contained personal information affecting people in Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, Missouri, Texas and California.

The missing data included Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth and other information.

Anheuser-Busch has confirmed that personal information for current and former employees was missing after the theft of several laptops from one of its office buildings in St. Louis, where it has its headquarters.

The company has said the data was password-protected and encrypted and there had been no evidence that the data was used in any identity theft crime.
